12:54 am
>> i did it for many years. but now since we've came here, all the stalls are monitored, so it gives me the luxury of actually sleeping in my own bed. >> reporter: but soto, who has done this for 33 years, does develop a relationship with every clydesdale born here. >> they're just like people, once you get to know them and know their size and their facial looks and everything, you know who they are. >> reporter: every year, the top 30 mature clydesdales tour the country. in 2012, three hitches appeared at 120 events representing the bud brand. john's son eric drives one of those hitches. >> this is where they do most of their training. >> reporter: jeff napper took us to check in on some of the up and coming clydesdales. >> this is one of the horses here in training. where we teach them all kinds of different things. today they're grooming on him and giving him a haircut and getting him ready. he's actually getting ready to go out to be part of the st. louis traveling team.
